General Washington, in 1781, rode 60 miles in one day from Baltimore to Mount Vernon, which he had not visited for over 6 years. General Rochambeau arrived next day with his and Washington's staff. They spent Sept. 10 and 11 at Mount Vernon before going on to Fredericksburg.

The Marking of this Route is a gift from the French Government, Committee of the Bicentennial, 1776-1976.
